a mod/admin of ahks reddit came on irc and mentioned a lot of people are complaining about cloudflare blocking them lately.
he pinned this topic aswell: https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey/com ... g_the_ahk/

so that means

I just hope this isn't happening to other visitors who are not members.

is in fact happening to other visitors

But how then did he get copies to post? how do we know this isnt the same person? how do we know that this isnt the result of legit blocking

A quick look at the Reddit threads shows that a large portion are from the time where the AHK website was slow. (https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=28561)
Seems like this Reddit person is suggesting to people that it could be due to cloudflare, but he received nor provides no evidence that it is Cloudflare.
The timing of the complaints suggests it is most likely the same slow-down issue we all experienced.

agreed

someone on irc (first time ahk'er. interested in trying it after I boasted about a feature) just posted this :

the site is up-and-running nice and smooth for me
he's USA, using FF/chrome, cannot access the homepage

I'm not on IRC, but I posted to the Reddit thread, and I started a new thread here (I wasn't aware this thread was site access related). Through work, I have access to 3 IPs in Northern NJ, all Verizon FIOS, and all blocked. I couldn't help notice that the image you posted referenced 'Newark.' I come up Newark as well, so I'm guessing this person is using FIOS also.

If all FIOS users are being blocked, that's a lot of people, imo.

Is this working now?
